[TowerTalk] Dual rotor control

[KB1H]

Hi Jon -

We use a very simple and maybe too crude method here as we may have to have 
a rotor control in one of four locations.

The cable from the tower is terminated with a 8-Pin Jones Female plug on a 
subpanel. The rotor box has a pigtail with the mating Male connector on the 
end. Depending on what position needs what rotor we plug the rotor control 
into the appropriate tower/rotor.

Yes, we have four rotor controls but it can be the same with one rotor 
control that can be moved to either position. The pigtail can be long enough 
for both positions or you can run a jumper cable from the Female on the 
subpanel to each position again with matching connectors.

I am sure there are other ways just as simple or more complicated.

Good luck.
Dick

I have a T²X Tailtwister and I would like to have two control positions
available to move the array at different times. Only one control box would
be powered at any time.  Has anyone done this before that might have some
thoughts on how best to connect two control boxes to one rotor?

Thanks in advance!
